Hi, I´m Joey
It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.
While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”
5 Lessons I’ve learned in my 30s (Part 1)

Organizing your mind!
I have an anxious mind. It doesn't take much for me to feel overwhelmed. And when I have so much to do, it paralyzes me instead of motivating me to be productive. There's little hope once I'm in that state. It takes an impressive force to pull me from that black hole of fear and unproductively....
Stop. Breathe. Refocus. Trust.
I worked myself into a tizzy on Tuesday. The paperwork for our apartment sublet was officially signed which I’ve been anticipating for weeks now. But for some reason, it tossed me into a downward spiral. I like plans and clarity. Definites and stability. And now, suddenly, come hell or high water,...
Morning Routine: Establish a Positive Attitude First Thing
My morning routine is sacred. I learned early on that unless I make self-care a priority first thing in the morning, chances are I won't take care of myself at all. Did you know that the first seven minutes of your morning determine your mood for the entire day? Because of that fact, I actually...
Goals: Get Specific & Find Happiness
Is it just me, or do you start every new year full of promise too? I stand with my friends and family year after year counting down the minutes to the new year full of hope and excitement. I revel in that anything can happen feeling. This year things will be different. The thing is, I've been like...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOKS
For the deep feeler, the over-thinker & the one who’s trying to figure out where they fit.
I write for the ones who feel like they’re too much and not enough all at the same time. For the ones navigating big questions about identity, self-worth, relationships, and those in-between life moments no one really prepares you for.
My stories offer a mix of comfort and catharsis—like a late-night journal entry or a favorite nostalgic playlist. If you love Taylor Swift lyrics, soft heartbreak, and hopeful endings, you just might find a piece of yourself in these pages.
